    Even at 65% off, they are still ungodly overpriced. I went to buy one a few years back, and when the salesman read the price off the tag, I honestly thought he was joking.

    That Steam holiday sale is GREAT. I got 2 games I've been lusting after for months and months for next to nothing.

    GTA IV for a whole $7.49 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl for $1.99

    I love all the Redbox coupon codes. They are posted often enough that I could potentially never have to pay for a movie. Of course I still use Netflix but occasionally it's nice to rent something on the fly.

    Steam's holiday sale is on now; indie games are available for as little as $1 (Braid is about $2.50, IIRC), and big-name games for as little as $5. (Ghostbusters). Link here: [store.steampowered.com]

    What I have noticed is how much the HDMI cable prices change in different departments, even at Fry's Electronics. In the computer/audio/video cable department, along with various rca and 1/16-1/4 audio jacks, they run about $8-$20. Around the TV department, they run about $40 to $100ish. And the best is near the desktop laptop computer department, they ran around $70 to $120! Even the DVI cable was $100!! Hopefully we can all educate our ignorant family members. Maybe we should include a cable intervention when we all fix their computers this Christmas.

    Bahhh, why go with a measly 1 TB for $99, when you can go with a 2 TB internal with a 2 terabyte external Time Machine drive for $275? The 750 GB in my iMac is at the breaking point, in terms of age and capacity. Which is funny because I spent about $275 on that drive at the time.

    @thechansen: For me, all i use the external drive for is backup. I bought a Lacie ( I know, I know) 500Gb USB external drive for 59.99 on newegg. I have about 100 - 150GB of free space left after making an image of my desktop system drive, my desktop data drive, and my laptop drive.

    Buying a new iMac and configuring it with a 2TB internal and a 2TB time capsule is signifigantly more than $275. Plus, the majority of people don't need a 2TB drive.

    Unless of course, you're being sarcastic. In which case, nevermind.

    @Davy Grolton: Well the 2 TB internal was about $129 ($139), and I have more than that total, but when you back up your entire DVD collection for what amounts to the best damned Video on Demand channel ever, you need all the hard disk space you can get. Plus some more for backups. Because who wants to lose multiple terabytes of hardwork.

    My iMac (came with 250gb and I replaced that when the 750gbs got under $300) serves all my media (currently using 2x 320 gb external 2.5inch drives and a 750 GB internal, which has 30 GB free) then I have a network share with a few TBs through a linux box, which acts as a Time Machine for the 3 mac laptops, and a backup point for my gaming desktop (which has the imac's old 250 gb and 750 gb and is the dedicated dvd ripper) and intel atom HTPC. The only one of my computers I don't back up is my asus netbook, mostly because everything I do on it is online anyway. Of course, the average person doesn't own 6 computers personally, or have 10 or so in their household, but damnit, we are Gizmodo readers!

    @thechansen: This is true - I took the article to mean more of a HDD backup. You know, the OS and some data, not an entire DVD collection!

    My father has a setup similar to yours - he has 7 1TB drives connected to it in total! He uses Beyond TV, so he can watch live TV and record it as well. He also uses it as a media server to store ripped movies to just the recorded television.

    I was battling the 1TB decsision when i bought my 500GB for backup of my computer, but i couldn't justify/afford to spend over $100 on another hard drive in which i would never ever fill up completely (I'm a student - had to save up for textbooks for my classes). I use Acronis True Image home 11, and it compresses disk images very well.

    So, in conclusion, as a cheap/broke-ass college student, and for normal people purchasing a backup drive, springing for the 2TB, something they may never ever potentially fill, is a waste of money. Unless you have a media server with many movies or edit HD movies. In which case, for data backup, I think your money would be better invested in a RAID array or possilby even one of those Drobos.
